By Faith - James Woodley and The Upper Room Church

That God has sought fit to bring us together again. Amen.

And I've been thinking about that song Praise God on

the way back, thinking, I said, God, that's a wonderful

song to say to you today. Is I'm still holding on? Amen,

Praise God. That's a testimony right there. I say, that's

a testimony right there for all of us that are

present here today in the House of the Lord. We

thank God for being in this present, Thank God for

those that are on the phone line that are listening in.

Amen. Praise God, hallelujah. Been sometimes since we've been there. Amen.

Since the last time I was here, I've had a birthday,

Praise God. Amen, celebrating seventy seven years Amen.

Hallelujah. Amen. And that's something to give God thanks and

praise for him. Amen. Praise God. Because somebody said that

it could have been the other way. Amen. And so

praise God. I just want to give God praise. Amen.

And I was thinking about my granddaughter, Praise God. She's

twenty years old now.

Amen. I'm thinking of twenty years of gone by. Where

has it gone? Amen? Time Praise God marches on. Praise God.

But I thank God today that we are here Amen,

able to live up our vices to give God praise. Amen,

because somebody don't have that privilege that you and I

have today. Amen, Praise God, Hallelujah, Thank you Jesus. And

so if God bless us, praise God to be in

his presence, we ought to give him praise. To his

court with thanksgiving and then to his game with praise. Hallelujah.

Praise God. I'm not gonna be before you very long

this morning. I want to talk briefly Praise God because

one of the things I sense the need of in

the body of Christ, Praise God, particularly in our circle.

Praise God. We need more faith. Amen.

Some of us are deal with different elements and different situations.

In our body.

Praise God and God Hallelujah has not left you.

Amen. You prays God no matter what's going on. Praise God.

I remember I heard another sudden talking about praise God

going through the period of time. Praise God when he

had that stroke. Amen, But look at him that today.

Listen to him talk today. You can't tell he ever

had one.

Amen.

We saw God the other day Praise God who had

a stroke. We could tell that was a little difference

in his speech. But praise God. But God bless him.

Praise God to be able to drive, Praise God, speak, talk,

praise God and not have any problems in his body,

prays God. Because of God's grace and God's mercy.

And so God bless ell a sudden Praise God and

bless all of us to be here today. Amen.

One of the things that prays God, I want to

deal with is Hebrews Chapter eleven, verse one. Hebrews Chapter eleven,

verse one says, Now, faith is the subjeance of things, hope, Paul,

the evidence of things not seen. My subject is by faith,

by faith, faith, Amen, hallelujah.

Praise God. And like I said.

We're dealing with different circumstances and situations and things are happening.

To our body. Praise God. Hallelujah.

But God, I believe this is the something told of

what I want to say. I'm just gonna give you

the bottom line. I believe God wants to speak to

our bodies the word of faith.

Amen. Amen.

If that, if you got authorities in that knee, speak

to that knee in the name of Jesus Christ and

tell that knee to be healed. Hallelujah, Thank you Jesus hallelujah,

by faith, Glory to God, hallelujah. And so Hebrew says, Now,

faith is the substance of things hope fault, the evidence

of things not seen.

Praise God.

I want to let us know, praise God, and let

the body of Christ know that faith is not wish

for thinking. Amen, it's not wish for thinking. Well, you know,

I wish, I wish this would happen, I wish that

would happen. Faith praise God is an action praise God word,

prays God that requires an action on our part. It

is complete confidence and trust in God's player and purposes

for you. And I don't look at yourself and saying, well,

you know, poor me, I don't know why it's happening

to me.

Praise God.

But I want you to step out, praise God and

exercise your faith in God today.

And so this morning, praise God to come to tell

you that it is by.

Faith that we stay Praise God, hallelujah.

And so many times we exercise faith.

Nobody got in their automobile this morning, Praise God to

look up under the edge to see if the motive

was still there. Heymen, hallu, you walk down there, sat

down in there and put the key in the nition

or whatever.

Praise God, and the motive cracked up. Amen, hallelujen.

Nobody walked into the Saints ravy this morning, looked at

the benches and turned it up, sat down to see

if the scruss in place had confidence. Praise God. That

bitch will hold you up. So faith is the assurance

of what we hope for.

Praise God.

If you hope to be healed, then exercise your faith

this morning.

Praise God, Holly.

If you prays God looking for victory, prays God. Exercise

your faith and announce to yourself that I'm victory. I'm

the head, and not to tell. Announce to yourself that

I'm an overcover. Praise God, hallelujah. And so it's by

faith that we stand today. You know, we're in the

Book of Hebrews in our Biba study and we're talking

about the exercise of faith. God told Abraham that he

was gonna be a father of many nations. And if

you've been following our study, we found out that God

even made it off with himself. He swapped by himself,

because that was nothing greater than God. He swabbed by

himself to abrahair you going to be a father of

many nations.

And that was a promise from God.

But Abraham, as we found out that Abraham got a

little weary because he was getting up in age and

he had no child. And I talked about this last week.

God changed his name from Abram, because his name originally

was Abril. God changed his name from Abram to Abraham,

which means he was the father of many nations, a

father of him up the two. So when Abraham went

to the park and sent around there and looked at.

His neighbors who had changed, and they said, well, what's

your name? He said, well, my neighbors Abraham. The folks

that were looking at him said, well, okay, well where's

your kids.

I don't have many kids, but my name is Abraham.

Where's your boy? I don't have a boy, but my

neighbor is Abraham. Praise God, hallelujh. Because God has the

power to call those things that are not as though

they were. That's the power of faith. Praise God that

God want you and I to exercise today. In our situation.

The devil may be telling you praise God, you can't

have it. You praise God, you can't do it. Praise God.

It's hard to get along. Praise God. You're gonna fail.

But we need to stand up. Praise God and speak

a word of faith over our condition and over our life.

Praise God and over the Book of Hebrews. Give us

a long list of people that exercise faith.

Praise God. Amen. But the main point faith.

Is the present confidence and the convintion proof that God's

unseen promises are already real and already can be trusted.

He told us in Wiscirt. He says, when you pray,

believe that you receive it. He didn't say, pray and

believe that you go receive it. Pray believing that you

are receiving it. Praise God so you can thank God

for your deliverance. As the other Home told us a

few years ago, walk in your deliverance. Hallelujah, Thank you Jesus,

Glory to God. Hallelujah. You walk in your deliverance. You

walk thanking God that I already got it. You walk

thanking God that is already happened. You walk thanking God

that is in my head. You walk thinking God that

I've been delivering. You walk thanking God that I've been

set free God.

Thank you Jesus.

By faith, by faith, Amen, Praise God. Hallelujah, Thank you Jesus.

God wants to walk by faith and not by sight.

Amen. Praise God. Have faith in God. Amen.

Mark chapter eleventh, verse twenty two says, have faith in God.

If you have faith in God and don't doubt, you

can say to this mountain to get up and jump

into the sea, and it will. Everything you ask for

in prayer will be yours if you.

Only have faith. Amen.

Somebody might say, we'll pass a Why are you talking about.

Praise God. A mountain being cast into the sea. Praise God.

A mountain represents day that's in your way and in

your pain, representations.

Praise God. Stuff.

Praise God that you that's hindering you from getting what

you want to be or what you want to have.

But praise God. But look at that situation. Praise God

and said be casting to the sea.

Amen. Faith today opens the door to miracles. Praise God.

How many believe that God still working miracles? I believe

God still working miracles.

Hardly, love y'all. Thank you Jesus. He's a miracle working God. Amen.

But if you look at the Bible, you find it.

Every time God moved on earth to do a miracle,

it was because somebody believed, like the woman that had

to issue your blood, the scripture says. The scripture says,

she said in the house and cried because no matter

would come back and visibly.

He didn't say that, did it.

The scripture didn't say, prays God that she was sitting

around feeling sorry for herself. The scripture didn't say, prays

God that she was blaming the doctors for taking all

her money. Scripture didn't say that she was blaming blue

crossing blue shield because she want deliver it.

Praise God.

But the scripture said, she said it within herself, if

I could just touch it, lor that God.

Hallelujah, hallelujah.

I want you to recognize that in her mind, prays God,

you head old touch that heal others not because.

She both sorted them nine. She said, if I can

just touch the hem of his God, Praise God.

Hallelujah, Amen, hallelujah, Thank you Jesus.

It's by faith that God is gonna do it for you. Amen.

I believe a man if all of us have prays God,

those that are innocentuators want I'm trusting and believing.

That you have faith in God for what you need

this morning.

Anybody needed anything from God today? Anybody on the phone line,

do you need something from God today? Then praise God.

I want you to have faith that you're gonna receive it.

As a matter of fact, I want you to have

faith that you.

Are receiving it right now.

Hallelujah, Thank you Jesus, Glory to God. Faith make faith happen.

Praise God, Hallelujah, Halleujah. I know, praise God. We say

we save me. Any time prayer, change the thith, but

praise God. You can pray and not have faith, but

you do it.

It's call the words.

But if you pray any faith, you believe what you're

saying is coming to pass.

So God is still working miracles of day.

God is doing something and I believe God wants to

work a miracle.

For us in this sanctuary right here today. Those on

the fall.

Lines, I believe God wants to work a miracle in

your life today.

By fat.

So, what kind of mountain are you facing today? Is

it something in your body? Is there sickness in your

body that you want God to heal you of today?

Praise God, exercise your faith. And I don't want you

to think to yourself that perhaps God is not gonna

do it because I haven't been a good of two shoes.

I haven't did this and I haven't done that. I

haven't prayed like that. But let me tell you something.

Praise God. God will heal anybody that call him his

name invader. They don't have to be saved for God

to heal you.

You don't have to be saved for God to deliver you.
